This is vital for good health and a long life

This is vital for good health and a long life

  Although the mainstream medical community is progressing toward acknowledging the importance of your gut in overall health, some of them still have a way to go.    I was recently asked by a doctor if I thought it was important for her to take probiotics after finishing a course of “triple therapy” for ulcers—which consists of two antibiotics and an antacid.   As tempted as I was to say, “Duh,” I responded respectfully and said yes,...

What you might not know about colon cancer

What you might not know about colon cancer

  Back in 1978 (when I was 15 years old) and a mere six months after my father died suddenly, my mother was diagnosed with colon cancer.  I remember being terrified at the prospect of losing both parents within a short time of each other, and colon cancer seemed like such a mystery to me.  Thankfully, it’s no mystery anymore (more on that below), but back then it seemed like anyone was fair game for...

These are even deadlier than you ever thought

These are even deadlier than you ever thought

  I have a confession to make.  I am a people watcher.  Not in a weird, stalking way, but instead I take every opportunity I can get to observe people’s behaviors, especially as they relate to food.  So, as you can guess, when I am at the grocery store, I’m looking in everyone’s carts and observing obvious signs of illness in the shopper.  I have got to tell you, with very few exceptions, when I...

Does this sound like you?  If so, please listen up.

Does this sound like you? If so, please listen up.

  I’ve been in the health and nutrition field for three decades, so as you can probably surmise, I’ve pretty much heard it all.  I’ve seen numerous versions of what people think a “healthy diet” is, I’ve been asked about every diet and weight loss supplement on God’s green earth and have heard every excuse known to man for someone’s lack of exercise.  That’s OK, because this is why I do what I do.  To...

Don’t get caught up in this hype!

Don’t get caught up in this hype!

  When it comes to selling, one of the oldest tricks in the book is to create an urgent need or problem, then magically provide (i.e.: sell) the solution to said problem.  Note that I used the word create here, because many times the need for a specific product is just not there, so the customer must be convinced (or scared into thinking) they need it.  At the same time, if other competing products can...
